The blood work is around the same, around $100 unless I do only CBC that is cheaper (this is without bile acids which is $80) but I don't pay anything for medical waste, I do the sexing and chlamydia testing via internet ($40 or $50 - I think, it's been a while) and I've never had to have a feather cyst opened up by a vet so I don't know about that. I had one female canary (a rescue) that kept on getting them all the time (on the bend of her left wing) but I did the opening and cleaning myself each time -it's not really hard, it's like a pimple but inside you can have (sometimes you don't, it depends on how quick you catch it) pus surrounding a much thicker off-whitish matter and, under this, there is usually a hard thingie made out of the hardened keratin (which is the thick whitish stuff) that would have made the feather but never did.
